PEORIA — The ex-husband of a woman who was found strangled after going missing for two weeks has died from apparent suicide.

Daniel L. Wilson, 51, of 1400 E. Sankoty Drive was pronounced dead Monday morning after his body was found in a vehicle at a marina at 7012 N. Galena Road.

Someone found the vehicle with a hose running from the exhaust pipe into the partially open trunk about 10 a.m., according to Peoria County Coroner Johnna Ingersoll.

A brief note was found inside the vehicle, but the content of that correspondence has not been made public.

Wilson was the ex-husband of Terri Anderson, who was the subject of a widespread search after she went missing May 18. Wilson was the last person to confirm being with her and was driving her van when police took him into temporary custody on an unrelated arrest the next day.

Anderson’s badly decomposed body was found May 31 in a drainage ditch in the 6500 block of North Galena Road. Autopsy results showed she died from strangulation.

“Detectives will be following up, trying to find more information,” Peoria police Capt. Loren Marion III said Monday. “We’ll continue to investigate her death as a homicide, and it is still open.”

Wilson and Anderson had lived together at the Palmyra Court home where Anderson still stayed at the time of her disappearance.

Wilson listed the Sankoty Drive address, the home of his parents, as his house for multiple arrests over decades, according to jail records. He was living at the same address at the time of his death, Ingersoll said.

The Sankoty Drive home is within blocks of where Anderson’s body was found May 31 and where Wilson’s body was found Monday.

Anderson twice filed for orders of protection against Wilson in 2013, once before and once after filing for a divorce from him.

In an order of protection filed in September, Anderson said Wilson attacked her at her home on Palmyra Court, splitting her right eyebrow open after throwing her against her car. Police broke up that confrontation after being called by a neighbor. Anderson said she needed four stitches for the area above her eye and suffered a broken wrist.

A judge approved the marriage settlement in February after Wilson did not respond to any court filings.
